Bloons!
Wow, a news packed day, but this one deserves a mention because I have been addicted. I tend to shy away from web games, so when a colleague at work mentioned this I was skeptical, till I started, several monkeys popping balloons later and I was not going to stop till I got a super [...]
Crazy P
After my post on Seasick Steve and Ty, I thought I’d continue a write up on who else I saw at The Big Chill who has made me spend more of my hard earned cash on music.
Crazy P who hail from Nottingham, right here in blighty. Fantastic live, and really damn good on CD, vinyl [...]
Faceball
The web is a fantastic place, anything goes. “If you blink you might miss it” as the overused quote goes.
Recently I have noticed something about which has been developed, again, by our friends over at Flickr. This development comes in the form of an office game called Faceball, if, like me, you work in a [...]
Why I probably wouldn’t Blu-ray just yet
There is a big format war going on AGAIN. And yes, Sony, amongst others is a big player, AGAIN. And that’s the problem.
So, in the red corner we have HD-DVD, in the blue corner a prototype sounding Blu-ray.
Blu-ray is technically superior, it fits a vast amount more information on one disc, which could mean better [...]
China bans reincarnation
I can’t believe this story:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/29/reincarnation_ban/
There is something very very wrong with the Chinese government wanting Tibetan Buddhist monks to get permission for reincarnation. But I’m not here with a message of “free Tibet”, I’m more intrigued how they’d enforce this. Reincarnation police? Easiest job ever! Maybe I’m missing a point here.

Kia Ora
Too orangey for crows? I just found out what Kia Ora means, through Flickr!
It means hello in Mäori! Next fact tomorrow, if I can find one.

My name in vain
Today I decided to check where my rankings were on a few search engines. I tried google, and, as usual, I have been knocked off the top by the author (where was he when I first started out on the internet?). I then decided to go to live.com, I clicked on the feeds button, I [...]
iPhone to Europe
I’ve never particularly liked Apple, they do great product design, now, granted, a nice looking OS, but that’s about it. The quality is decidedly shoddy, from terrible iPod and iPhone batteries to power cables melting, so not even shoddy in a “feels cheap” kind of way, but dangerous shoddy. Yet the fan base is constant, [...]
East london Breweries
I moved to East from West London about 7 months ago to Shoreditch, what a different place! There are good and bad points to both. While Shoreditch has more clubs/bars, it also doesn’t have the great ales anymore. I always thought East London would be an ale drinking man area, but then I realised. Both [...]
Horton Hears a Who
A few years back now (ok 10 years back) I bought a brilliant DVD. I had to buy it from the States. It was The Grinch. Not the Jim Carrey one, but the original animated one with the song that makes my year every time “You’re a mean one Mr. Grinch”. My friends and I [...]
